Practical parallel programming demands that the details of distributing data to processors and inter- processor communication be managed by the compiler. These tasks quickly become too di cult for a programmer to do by hand for all but the simplest parallel programs. Yet, many parallel languages still require the programmer...
The fungitoxicity of carbon disulfide (CS2), methylisothiocyanate (MITC), or a mixture of these two gases, to selected wood-degrading fungi was studied by using a fumigation apparatus. Both gases are important decomposition products of metham sodium, the most commonly used fumigant for internal treatment of large wood members. Carbon disulfide (up...
The effect of supercritical fluid treatment on superficial gas permeability of Douglas-fir was investigated by using carbon dioxide either alone or amended with methanol. Permeability increased in a majority of samples, although nearly one-third of the specimens declined in permeability. Improvements in permeability appeared to be unrelated to variations in...
Most dairies need no commercial fertilizer if they use manure properly. In most cases, manure can supply all the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and several other nutrients needed for forage production.
Spreading livestock and poultry manure on crop and pastureland is a way to reclaim the value of the plant nutrients in manure. This practice is the most popular and widely recommended way to utilize these manures. Nitrogen and phosphorus are the nutrients of greatest value in manure and are the...
Four experiments were conducted during spring, late fall, and winter seasons using commercial broilers to investigate the suitability of different types of chopped Willamette Valley grass seed straw as litter for broiler production. Chopped annual rye grass straw and pelleted rye grass straw are more suitable litter than chopped rye...
